Not the First African-American President

It's obvious only to some: The obamadent is not the first African-American to call himself "President".

First, he's not African-American. He's an American who happens to be of the Negroid race. Having a Caucasian mother and an Negroid father makes the obamadent a mulatto. There is nothing wrong with that. Thomas Jefferson's kids were, after all, mulattoes, and many American blacks whose families have lived in the U.S. for a few generations are, in fact, mulattoes. So, the obamadent is the first mulatto president of the U.S. We could delve into quadroons and octaroons and possibly find other presidents who may not be all-white, but let's just stop at halvsies.

It is interesting how he and the media emphasized only half of his racial heritage. It is understandable, however, because being white can be so boring, especially if you listen to the soft rock of the 1970s or watch any predominantly white sporting event, or attend an all-white church. Also, if he had played up being white, folks might have confused him for John McCain. The point here is that more needed to be said for his whiteness just for the sake of equality.

Just to prove that no one around here is a racist, this blogger thinks that J.C. Watts, Alan Keyes, or Walter Williams would have been such a better choice....
